When Should Your Patients Have Carrier Screening?

Carrier screening is appropriate for your patients any time before or during pregnancy, regardless of maternal age or ethnic background.

Horizon™ carrier screen helps your patient understand their risk of having a child affected with an autosomal recessive or X-linked condition. Patients may want this information at different points in their lives, including:

  • Before selecting a partner
  • During family planning
  • While pregnant

We recommend discussing carrier screening with your patients at any time.
